Nandi Hills rises to about 1,480 metres in Chikkaballapur district. On clear winter and post-monsoon mornings the valleys below fill with mist, making the sunrise the main event. The summit also holds the Yoga Nandeeshwara temple, fort walls and Tipu’s Drop, while the ornate Bhoga Nandeeshwara temple sits at the foothills.
Best on clear mornings from October to February; arrive before first light.
